When developing an application it would be extremely useful to
be able to stick a label in one corner which would show the
instantaneous amount of memory in bytes used by the application.
Then memory leaks would be easier to spot.  Has anyone written
such a widget?  Failing that, since I've had much more exposure
to X than to Unix system calls, if someone would point me
towards the necessary code to return the memory currently used
by an application, I'll have a go at it myself.
